No, I live in Olympia and go there all the time. It’s fine, not a place you I would want to live but it’s fine. It’s like any small rural town in Washington. Aberdeen is the one that’s really rough.

Gas is cheaper at the Aberdeen Safeway than it is in Port Angeles. Either way, you want to top off before you get out on the coast. Aberdeen is also well known for its serial killers.

Shelled out logging town, filled up with sadness. When you drive through it feels pretty bleak.

It really is so depressing to drive through. We drive through Aberdeen and Hoquiam to get to our cabin and they just feel so bleak.

"Shelled out logging town" describes Shelton to a tee, I'm afraid.

LOL what’s right about Aberdeen is the proper question.

I've been to Aberdeen probably a hundred times and I've only ever seen the sun out once there, it is just perpetually raining somehow. Also its the only place I've ever seen houses shift around due to pest damage.
